What Brightwood Trails Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say
Brightwood Trails is a single-family residential subdivision in Durham, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This document is the declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions that applies to all lots in the community, and it outlines the rules and obligations for property owners.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it. The association maintains common areas, including private streets, storm water facilities, and other shared amenities, funded by assessments.
- Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least six months, in writing, and must include a clause binding tenants to the declaration and association rules. Owners must provide a copy of any lease to the association and remain responsible for assessments and rule compliance.
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the board, with a maximum of $600 per lot until 2006, then can increase up to 10% per year without member vote. Special assessments may be levied for capital improvements or other costs, and special individual assessments can be charged for damages or violations. An operating capital contribution equal to one-sixth of the annual assessment is due at initial sale.
- Architectural review: An Architectural Control Committee oversees new construction and modifications. Owners must get approval for changes, and the committee can enforce design guidelines and assess fees for review.
- Voting & membership: Every lot owner is a member of the association. Voting is one vote per lot for owners, but the declarant and approved builders have three votes per lot during the development period. Leased or vacant lots have limited voting weight (max 49%) on association matters.
- Common area use: Owners and their tenants have a right to use common areas, subject to association rules. The association can suspend use rights for unpaid assessments or rule violations, and can charge fees for certain facilities.
- What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial excerpt of the declaration; it does not include full details on insurance, maintenance obligations, or enforcement procedures. The complete declaration and other governing documents (bylaws, rules) should be reviewed for full requirements.
